Main Character:

Shen Yao

Turned into a vampire?

It feels strange in a way that's hard to describe.

As for the specific manifestations, Shen Yao can only explore them bit by bit; after all, she has never been a vampire before, but one thing is certain: her body has undergone this round of transformation and strengthening, and the body that had been constantly developing problems due to pregnancy has long since become the same as a Normal Person's.

Oh

Putting it that way is still a bit inaccurate; she is already a vampire, no longer a human with a heartbeat and body temperature. Currently, not just her fingers, but her whole body is icy cool, and her skin is smooth and brilliant like a gemstone, but these are all normal perks of being a vampire.

Shen Yao nimbly got down from the Bed, ignoring Weilan's gaze directed at her, and she used her ability on the wall Not Far away with a heart full of joy.

The most basic is teleportation; it requires nothing at all, not even a thought — she merely had the motion in her mind, and the person had already appeared in the corner of the wall.

Shen Yao: ……?

So a vampire's ability is this easy to use? Shen Yao happily widened her eyes, raising her hand to stroke her own body back and forth repeatedly, causing Weilan to cover her mouth and snicker. Mhm, it seems most people who participate in the transformation ritual behave this way.

Perhaps it's because she's never been one before that she's so curious right now?

"There is that reason, but more than that is the yearning for vampires," humans hope for eternity; even if vampires cannot exist forever, a lifespan of over a thousand years and an unchanging appearance still make humans dizzy with fascination.

Even many vampire servants are the result of humans voluntarily transforming, just so they can keep living on.

As a typical representative of a vampire Noble from birth, Weilan's view on those people Shen Yao mentioned is very simple; an overly one-sided understanding would make them suffer immensely after becoming vampires.

"No matter how painful, it still counts as their own choice," if they cannot accept it calmly, then they will degenerate and perish.

In reality, those humans who pursue becoming vampires for the sake of immortality actually do not live longer than Ordinary People's years.

They often perish because of certain things; some due to their own insatiable greed, some because one wrong step leads to another, becoming Cannon Fodder used for consumption. Once transformed into vampires, they no longer control themselves, so their fate presumably won't be much better.

Shen Yao circled the wall corner and teleported repeatedly until this skill became proficient, only then beginning to practice the other abilities that appeared in her mind.

Like the most basic power ability; because Shen Yao is pregnant, the effect is discounted, leaving less than half, causing Weilan to only be able to comfort Shen Yao not to rush, waiting until she gives birth to the child in her womb — perhaps the offspring will reciprocally nourish her, allowing Shen Yao to advance further.

Shen Yao: ……Ah?

There's even this kind of saying? How did she not know.

"This kind of thing would only be hidden away; no one can blab it openly," Weilan raised her eyebrows, reaching out to lightly grasp Shen Yao's slender wrist, icy cool like Jade.

"Go back to the bedroom to rest; half a month has already passed," although this is already a relatively fast transformation ritual, the matters delayed during this period are still very numerous.

Shen Yao felt apologetic, "For half a month, you've been here accompanying me the whole time?"

It really wasn't necessary to be so Careful; she's just newly pregnant, and the transformation ritual gets safer the further along it goes. Weilan could completely have left her here alone and returned to the Study to handle affairs.

Weilan touched Shen Yao's shoulder, thinking to herself how she could possibly bear to leave the other behind.

Besides, although the Castle belongs to the Toweier Family and is her territory, she cannot guarantee there aren't traitors loyal to others inside this Castle.

If they took advantage of Weilan's inattention to sneak into the Basement and act, even if Weilan found out later and carved the enemy into a thousand pieces, it would be of no use.

The matter of her cheap father and mother told Weilan that regret is the most useless thing, and one must also try to avoid the emergence of regretful emotions.

Holding Shen Yao's hand, she slowly came out of the Basement.

It was only when in the corridor that Shen Yao felt the Basement was indeed somewhat gloomy, and through her own eyes she saw many coffins placed side by side or alone, all containing the sleeping ancestors of the Toweier Family. The Innermost ones were even pure-blood vampires, the founders of the Toweier Family and even other Noble vampire families, revered by them as gods, the Progenitors.

"He is already dead, it's just that no vampire would believe this matter."

Weilan turned her head to look at the Innermost room; locked both inside and out, ordinary people couldn't open it.

"Anyone would find it hard to accept, right."

After all, emotions are Complex; even wild Beasts have their own preferences.

"The Toweier Family's coffin only holds a single severed arm segment; the other body parts are all kept in other Noble vampire families' homes."

This was the Progenitor's dying wish; the initial purpose was to prevent his awakening. After all, pure-blood vampires are immortal; their slumber is true slumber, and who knows when they might open their eyes.

But vampires after slumber lose their memories, even pure-blood vampires.

The Progenitor loathed this situation, and grew even more weary of a meaningless life; that is why he chose to dismember and seal himself. This matter has continued from several hundred years ago to the present.

Shen Yao: ……

"If several body parts were gathered together again," would he revive?

Weilan tilted her head, pondering for a moment, only giving an ambiguous answer, "There would be a very high probability."

Because no one has ever tried it; just how heaven-defying pure-blood vampires are is only seen in books. Right now, these vampire Nobles, the oldest among them is only a hundred years old.

The vampire world previously experienced a generational break; the reason is unknown. Only known is that the vampire world's political power underwent a baptism by fire, and along with the human world and the werewolves, things settled down considerably.

The Human world slowly regained its former Vitality; werewolves and vampires gradually hid behind the scenes, until the current situation slowly accumulated and finally erupted, spreading across the entire Continent.

"System, do you think it's possible that the war spreading across the entire Continent would involve the participation of pure-blood vampires?"

It seems only the intervention of a more powerful force could stir up the winds and clouds, overturning heaven and earth.

Before, she was still very suspicious of the vampire Nobles' capabilities and thoughts; looking at it now, who knows, this bunch of vampire Nobles might also be fish meat on a chopping block, waiting for other higher-level Forces to wield the knife.

System: ……

The System unexpectedly didn't speak; unknown if it was frightened by Shen Yao's speculation, or because Shen Yao guessed too accurately, making it afraid of revealing itself and not daring to answer casually.

Mhm

Both of the above possibilities are things the System would do; after all, the System really cannot keep its word.

The word-breaking System is spinning in circles anxiously in the Host's mind.

Aiyo

How is the Host this smart? On one hand, it can't help but praise its own accurate judgment of character; on the other, it sighs that the Host thinks so much — who knows if they can complete the Mission.

Of course it can be completed; after all, even if a pure-blood vampire awakens, they wouldn't launch a massive slaughter killing all vampire Nobles to once again purge the vampire world's Political Power.

As long as there was still room for negotiation, Weilan would do everything in her power to preserve them, and with that war engulfing the whole world, given this Pureblood Ancestor's great love, she would probably have to quell the war first.

The two returned upstairs; before leaving they did not forget to have the butler lock the entire basement tight and forbid anyone from entering. Weilan brought Shen Yao to the study.

Unlike the study's previous structure, Weilan raised her hand and turned a book placed on the bookcase; instantly, the cramped space revealed behind the bookcase caught Shen Yao's attention.

Ah?

There's a secret room in the room too? It's getting more and more like those backdoors the ancient great clans liked to leave.

"Inside are just some books that cannot be shown to outsiders," Weilan brought Shen Yao inside and, by the way, explained why she hadn't told her at the wedding, "Non-vampires cannot read them; the books are covered with the Pureblood Ancestor's curse."

That curse kills any creature other than vampires on contact.

Weilan naturally could not risk bringing Shen Yao; right now Shen Yao's conversion had succeeded, and the blood used was still the Pureblood Ancestor's stored supply, so there was no worry no matter how she looked.

Oh

I see!

Didn't expect the vampire world to have so many particulars, but speaking of curses.

Shen Yao lowered her eyes and glanced at her fingertips, where a faint blue light had appeared.

It was a very pale color, looking more like fireflies blinking in the night sky.

This is a curse!

A curse only Shen Yao could see! Also an ability Shen Yao inherited from the conversion ritual!

Shen Yao:...

Not to say one way or another, she always felt she had some Child of Destiny vibe; could it be that because Xize'er died, the protagonist changed, affecting luck, and it all ended up acting on her?

What about the child in her belly? Could it be the next protagonist?

Shen Yao's thoughts began to drift constantly, even containing some messy ideas, until Weilan handed a book to her; only then did Shen Yao hide the faint blue light emerging from her fingertips, smiling as she accepted the book, barely a finger thick.

This not-large secret room had seats and chairs; Shen Yao did not stand on ceremony, sat down, and seriously flipped through the book in her hand. She truly felt the curse on the book — a mantra causing extreme aging, neutralized because vampires do not age.

Shen Yao was somewhat curious just how strong this Pureblood Ancestor's power really was; a casually laid curse lasted this long — those vampires from hundreds of years ago must have been pressing werewolves and humans to the ground and beating them.

Hua lala —

The sound of paper turning pages was ignored by Shen Yao; the text inside drew her attention. It was a font Shen Yao had never seen before, yet she miraculously managed to recognize it all.

Si

No wonder vampires have conversion rituals, and the rituals even have good and bad distinctions; using good ritual items indeed grants many things, including Shen Yao's seemingly innate mastery of vampire script.

Stayed in the secret room until evening before Shen Yao stood up and moved her body.

Wu

Perhaps because she became a vampire, her body lacked the fatigue humans should have; Shen Yao was like a robot that knew no hardship, until she finished reading the thick book on her body did she realize the time was already this late.

In the past she would long have been unable to eat three meals a day, yet now she had not the slightest thought of hunger, and even her whole body was filled with strength; staying in the secret room continuing to stay up late reading would be no problem.

"The blood essence in your body has not been used up yet, no need for extra blood supplementation," Weilan explained, and by the way mentioned future diet — Shen Yao might need to overcome a psychological barrier.

"Is it drinking blood?" Shen Yao propped her chin, thinking only in this situation would Weilan make her strive to overcome it because of her former human identity.

Weilan nodded, "Potions can be used daily, but you're pregnant," the potion's nutrition is temporarily insufficient to supply the daily consumption of mother and child; fresh blood is the best food.

Shen Yao:...

How to put it, Shen Yao had anticipated it in her heart, but when it actually came to drinking fresh blood, it was still very awkward.

But as a veteran of transmigrating many worlds, Shen Yao could not give up the main mission no matter what; the child in her belly is the key to when she goes to the next mission world.

"Rest assured, I'm fine."

Thought drinking blood would cause retching and nausea, but unexpectedly the blood's taste was surprisingly sweet.

Hm?

What principle is this?

Vampire and human smell and taste are different? Indeed, when Weilan eats, don't look at her calm peaceful expression; actually she finds it tasteless as chewing wax; probably right now it's the same principle.

Concern Concern

Shen Yao very straightforwardly drank down a cup of fresh blood, and by the way didn't forget to rinse her mouth to remove the taste.

Weilan herself ate a few potion tablets; this is her daily operation; unless necessary, she would not touch any fresh blood.

Shen Yao's belly already had an obvious curve, especially when she wore a thin coat, it was like a small bowl buckled on her belly.

Weilan lowered her eyes, raised her hand and gently touched Shen Yao's belly, indicating vampire birth is faster than humans, but because of vampires' long lifespans, their growing up time is slower than humans.

"Actually the timing right now isn't too good," the Sins Empire has developed chaos; Weilan is thinking of ways to pull the Toweier Family out.

The Toweier Family and the Sins Empire are bound quite deeply; this can be seen from that wedding some time ago — even though many things happened at the wedding, causing the Sins Empire's high level to develop obvious dissatisfaction toward the Toweier Family, for the moment they are still entangled incessantly.

Shen Yao's pregnancy at this time is a good thing for the Toweier Family, because with an heir the whole family can be stabilized.

But for Weilan, she needs to divert part of her energy to Shen Yao and child, which will cause other problems.

However these all have other solutions; Weilan raised her hand and gathered Shen Yao into her embrace, expressing that if possible she would try to squeeze out more time to accompany her.

During vampire pregnancy there will be ability fluctuations, situations of losing control; Weilan told Shen Yao not to worry too much about these; everything will be arranged and handled by her.

"Weilan"

Shen Yao leaned in Weilan's embrace, and so passed her pregnancy-nurturing life.

Normally she didn't need to do anything; every day eating, drinking, playing, sleeping; once abilities went out of control Weilan would appear; she only needed to stay put obediently.
